I think that the armed forces started running courses to train as locksmiths a couple of years ago which has significantly increased the competition. Time to really get stuck into electronic systems I would suggest. Take that forward a little and you go for resetting codes on radios/cds etc.

What about an un-clamping service in major city cntres. That would go down a wow.
